Kamaka Ukuleles are hand crafted here in Hawai'i and made out of the finest Acacia Koa, a wood which is indigenous to the islands of Hawai'i.

Sam Kamaka Jr. and Fred Kamaka Sr. Sons, the year 2000 inductee into the 'Ukulele Hall of Fame in Rhode Island, New York, are the foundation of the authentic 'ukulele manufacturing company, located on the island of O'ahu, Hawai'i.

Sam and Fred learned the business from their father, Sam Kamaka Sr. apprenticed under Manuel Nunes in 1910 (self-proclaimed inventor of the 'ukulele, and plantation immigrant from Madeira, Portugal) and six years later opened his factory in the basement of their Waianae home.
